The included speaker switch/splitter enables easy zoning, allowing you to control music in different areas independently from the amplifier. Ideal for commercial environments like bars, restaurants, pubs, hotels, cafes, and offices, as well as for home use.
The kit features a 110W Bluetooth amplifier with multiple inputs (2x RCA/PHONO, 1x 3.5mm AUX, 1x USB, 1x SD Card) and 2x microphone inputs for public speaking or karaoke. Its built-in Bluetooth receiver allows for wireless audio streaming from compatible devices, and the amplifier can be discreetly placed out of sight. The amplifier offers controls for bass, treble, echo, tone, microphone volume, and master volume, making it user-friendly for both professionals and amateurs.
Included are 10x 60W satellite speakers, each with an adjustable wall mounting bracket for flexible positioning. These 2-way stereo speakers are housed in a durable ABS plastic casing with a mesh grille and feature a 1-inch polymer tweeter and a 3-inch surround woofer for clear sound reproduction. The 5-port speaker splitter box ensures that the amplifier always sees a load, even when some speakers are switched off, and allows for individual speaker zone control. The kit also comes with 100m of speaker cable and a UK mains power cable.
This comprehensive kit is designed for businesses and homes needing to distribute background music across up to 10 speakers with independent zone control. Its key benefit is the seamless stereo signal distribution and the ability to manage different audio zones easily via the included speaker splitter. A potential caveat is the need for basic audio wiring knowledge for optimal setup.

FAQs
Can I connect more than 10 speakers?
The kit is designed for 10 speakers. Connecting more may overload the amplifier and cause damage or poor performance. Consult the amplifier's specifications for its maximum supported load.
How do I control individual zone volumes?
The speaker splitter allows you to turn zones on or off. Individual volume control for each speaker or zone is managed through the amplifier's master volume control. For specific zone volume adjustments, you might need additional audio routing equipment.
What type of cable is used for speakers?
The kit includes 100m of standard speaker cable suitable for connecting the satellite speakers to the amplifier and splitter.
Can I use this for a home theater system?
While it can be used at home, this kit is primarily designed for background music distribution in commercial or multi-room environments, not for a surround sound home theater setup which typically requires different speaker configurations and amplification.
Does the Bluetooth have a long range?
Bluetooth range is typically around 10 meters (33 feet) without obstructions. Walls and other electronic devices can reduce this range.
What is the impedance of the speakers?
The 60W satellite speakers are designed to work with the amplifier and splitter. The splitter box ensures the amplifier always sees a safe load, even with zones turned off. Specific speaker impedance details are not provided but are matched for this kit's operation.
Can I mix and match speakers with the included ones?
You can mix speakers, but ensure they are compatible with the amplifier's power output and minimum impedance rating. The splitter box helps manage load, but using speakers with vastly different sensitivities or power handling may lead to uneven sound levels.
Troubleshooting
No sound from speakers
Check that the amplifier is powered on, all audio cables are securely connected, and the speaker splitter switches for active zones are turned on. Verify the correct input source is selected on the amplifier. Ensure speaker wires are not shorting.
Bluetooth connection failed
Ensure the amplifier is in Bluetooth mode. Turn off and on the Bluetooth on your source device. Move the source device closer to the amplifier. Try unpairing and re-pairing the device.
Distorted sound or low volume
Check that the master volume and input volume levels are not set too high, which can cause clipping. Ensure speaker wires are correctly polarized (+/-) and that the total impedance of connected speakers does not exceed the amplifier's rated minimum impedance (check amplifier manual if available).
Microphone not working
Ensure the microphone is properly plugged into the correct microphone input. Check that the microphone volume is turned up on the amplifier. Test the microphone with another device if possible.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Enables multi-zone audio control for flexible background music management.
Versatile input options support both modern wireless and traditional wired audio sources.
Includes all necessary components, such as speakers, amplifier, splitter, and speaker cable, for a complete setup.
Durable speaker construction suitable for commercial environments.
Bluetooth connectivity simplifies wireless audio streaming.
Cons
Requires basic understanding of audio wiring for proper installation.
Amplifier placement needs consideration for discreet integration.
The 5-zone splitter offers control, but the amplifier itself does not have built-in EQ for each zone.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Amplifier Connection: Connect audio sources (RCA, AUX, USB, SD Card) to the amplifier. Plug in microphones if needed.
Speaker Wiring: Connect the 10 satellite speakers to the amplifier using the included speaker cable. Route the cables to the desired locations.
Zone Setup: Connect the amplifier's speaker outputs to the input of the 5-port speaker splitter box. Then, connect each speaker (or groups of speakers for each zone) from the splitter box to the corresponding speaker outputs.
Power: Connect the amplifier to a power source using the included UK mains cable.
Zone Activation: Use the switches on the splitter box to enable or disable individual speaker zones.
Compatibility:
Audio Sources: Compatible with any device outputting stereo audio via RCA, 3.5mm AUX, USB (MP3/WMA files), or SD Card (MP3/WMA files).
Bluetooth Devices: Works with any Bluetooth-enabled device (smartphones, tablets, laptops).
Microphones: Compatible with standard dynamic microphones (XLR or 1/4" jack depending on adapter if needed, though the unit likely uses 1/4").
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the amplifier and speakers with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ventilation: Ensure the amplifier has adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Do not place it in enclosed spaces without airflow.
Connections: Periodically check all cable connections to ensure they are secure.
